Ways to wire it.

Hey guys,
I've been working in a project and finally i finished it. It's a Fuzz with three possible outputs: Fuzz + Octave Up, Fuzz + Octave Down and Only Fuzz. I could use two SPDTs toggle switches: one to activate or deactivate the octave effect and another to select between octave up or down. But i wanna do it with only one 3 positions toggle switch. I can't find On-On-On switches here, i have only On-Off-On SPDTs and DPDTs. The question is: There's a way i can wire a SPDT to work this way:
When its up, the output will be the octave up;
When its at middle, the output will be the fuzz alone;
When its down, the output will be the octave down.
Anyone has another idea about how to make it using only one toggle switch and without use a ON-ON-ON?

Thank you guys!
That's all, Folks!

A schematic would help. How are the octave effects turned on and off? Are they just separate outs? Are the octaves and fuzz parallel effects. There are too many unknowns to answer.

There are three position, on-on-on toggle switches available. Small Bear Electronics has them, listed as DPDT (on-On-On). They need an extra wire soldered between two of the terminals to be used as a sp3t switch.

In the end i could find a rotary switch here. Thank you guys!
